I have to agree with you, Picky.

I got it from a mechanic in town who has been converting the Geo Metro to all-electric for years. Now I plug in where the gas cap used to be. And it doesn’t use as much electricity as I feared, possibly since it only goes 45 miles on a charge, but that’s been plenty far enough for my family! The conversions he does cost from $12K – $16K using standard batteries and you provide the car to convert. I think that’s pretty standard these days in the home conversion world.

Retail is suffering because consumers don’t need new stuff when it first comes out. Do you know who the really dumb people are? The guys that companies laughingly call EARLY ADOPTERS. They laugh because these are the pie holes that pay full mark-up plus the research and development costs for brand new products. I went to the mall today and they were jammed with shoppers getting 80% off on the same goods that goofballs paid full retail for. These are the smart shoppers. They realize that being the first kid on the block with a new pair of designer slacks isn’t going to win them any trophies or respect from peers.

Likewise…being the first idiot on the block with the latest car is just plain egomaniacal. America…the car you have in your driveway is just fine. Change the oil…get it tuned up at your local mechanic…he’ll be happy…and pay it off…then drive it some more…enjoy that freedom of not having a car payment and don’t try to keep up with the Jones…They are probably in foreclosure or bankruptcy by now anyway.

When you add sales taxes, increased insurance, the loss from depreciation, and higher new vehicle registration costs, that new car costs an average person about six to eight months of their hard work. When you aren’t even sure you are going to have a job to work hard at, a new vehicle begins to sound quite expensive.

People are waiting for things to get cheaper (hybrids, interest), and they are getting cheaper. The dollar/euro/yen/pound hard currencies are getting more expensive. Deflation, is that. People are basically being paid to wait and not buy cars by the Bush administration.
